I bet he's used that one on the whole team.

Re: Hurricane Milton about to hit Florida!
In a strange turn of events, it's calm as hell here this week.
Me pals have been moaning they can't go surfing

It hit my home town last night and caused over 10 million pounds worth of improvements...

Pffft. I've sat on Margate beach as a kid in worse than that. All you need is a strategically placed windbreak and to eat your fish paste sandwiches under the blanket.

Re: Hurricane Milton about to hit Florida!
Yeah, in 'Skeggie' terms that's just 'a bit fresh'.
It got me wondering about the redistribution of sewage back onto land from the sea though which led me to this gem:
'A study has revealed the ten ‘dirtiest’ beaches across the UK with sites in Bradford, Blackpool and North Somerset topping the chart.'
Bradford???
(Turns out there's a shingle 'swimming beach' on the River Ilkley somewhere near Bradford. Who knew?).

There's a beach in Newport Pagnell too. Surfing is crap but the likelihood of shark attack is low.Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 12:40 pm

No such thing as River Ilkey. The Wharf is super clean though..Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 12:40 pm

Yeah, I think they got their geographic knickers in a twist. They mean the Wharfe at Cromwheel, Ilkley.Yorick wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 1:43 pmNo such thing as River Ilkey. The Wharf is super clean though..Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2024 12:40 pm

Super clean but frequently contains quite a lot of things you really don't want to swim in?

Re: Hurricane Milton about to hit Florida!
One Sheriffs Dept had a specially built structure that could withstand a hurricane to house vehicles & boats etc used for rescue work. It got flattened by a tornado & collapsed on all the rescue equipment & vehicles...

Re: Hurricane Milton about to hit Florida!
Seems not much has actually happened here despite the forecasts. This was clearly fake news put out by the Govt to pursue its climate change agenda!

Re: Hurricane Milton about to hit Florida!
You ungrateful wretch! Our glorious leaders spend £billions engineering not-hurricanes and you complain you're in a not-hurricane because social media - aka the MSM controlled BBC weather app - said there will be hurricanes.
